On the Development and Implementation of Executive Orders 1100 (Revised) and 1110

AS-3304-17/FGA/AA.APEP
ApprovedThe Academic Senate CSU (ASCSU) objects to the severely constrained timeline and flawed
consultation process surrounding EO 1100 (revised) and EO 1110, urges Chancellor White to put
them into abeyance and defer their implementation date until, at earliest, Fall 2019. The ASCSU
further requests that, before any future implementation, the Chancellor’s Office engage in datadriven
and genuine consultation with faculty, which would include:

analysis of the costs of wholesale modification of the GE and academic preparation
portions of the curriculum;

analysis of the effect on campus-level resource allocation and its impact on specific
programs such as ethnic and cultural diversity studies;

ensuring that multiple measures are used to assess foundational quantitative reasoning
proficiency as called for in EO 1110;

reinstating the recently lifted moratorium on changes in ethnic studies programs and
departments until at least Fall 2019;

collaboration between the Chancellor’s Office and the ASCSU in developing a plan for
monitoring the efficacy of the changes in General Education and academic preparation
curricula.
